E7: Marriage, Divorce, Remarriage Part 3: Contextualizing Jesus
Our previous episodes on this topic addressed the nature of Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage in the Old Testament, under the Law of Moses. We discussed the divorce certificate and valid reasons for divorce under the Hebrew Law. If you haven't already listened to those episodes, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you do so, as they provide the background context behind what is discussed in part 3.In this edition, we begin to discuss Jesus' teachings on Marriage, Divorce, and Remarriage, and we begin with the cultural, literary, and historical context in which Jesus lived. This background is critical to understanding what Jesus taught, and WHY he taught what he did. This was a fun discussion, and we think you'll be well informed and edified by it. We are excited to discuss this topic, and are planning on ending this series with an episode dedicated to answering the questions of our listeners!
